A Case Report of Parasitic Bladder Infestation in Woman with Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

It also causes anemia which makes a patient susceptible to infections and further morbidity. In this case, a woman presented with AUB-L with recurrent urticarial lesions leading to lichen simplex complex and severe anemia and patient on cystoscopic examination showed parasitic infestation of bladder.
